The Befana instead brings Treasure Hunting and many more Fairy Tales under the Tree on 6, 7 and 8 January 2023 at Contignaco Castle (PR). Children, accompanied by their parents and complete with maps and 'traveller's notebook' in tow, will be busy chasing a long chain of clues that will lead them to unravel numerous tales. The children, with the help of the older ones, will have to be able to identify the moral of each tale that will be proposed to them: only in this way will they be able to conclude the hunt and reach the sweet final treasure! An ideal game for children aged between 5 and 14.
